The APEM Panel Switches 18845AD is a robust double pole autoswitch engineered for high-reliability industrial control applications. Featuring gold-plated silver contacts, this snap-in panel mounting switch delivers precise tactile feedback and operates within a wide temperature range of -30°C to +65°C. With a maximum current rating of 1 A at 30 VDC for resistive loads and an electrical life of 60,000 cycles, the 18845AD ensures dependable performance in demanding environments while maintaining low contact resistance (50 mΩ max) and high insulation resistance (1,000 MΩ min). Its snap-in panel mounting design simplifies installation and integration into automation systems without compromising on durability or precision.
The APEM Panel Switches 18845AD delivers reliable electrical performance with gold-plated silver contacts rated for 1 A at 30 VDC with resistive loads. It maintains low initial contact resistance (50 mΩ max) and high insulation resistance (1,000 MΩ min), ensuring stable operation even under high current conditions. The dielectric strength of 1,000 Vrms 50 Hz min provides robust protection against electrical surges.
Engineered for industrial environments, the 18845AD operates within a temperature range of -30°C to +65°C. This wide operational range makes it suitable for diverse climates and harsh conditions, ensuring consistent performance without thermal degradation. The switch also meets stringent environmental requirements with a total travel of 0.5 mm (.019 inches) for precise mechanical operation.
The snap-in panel mounting design simplifies installation and integration into control panels. Tactile feedback ensures immediate user confirmation during operation, while the 4mm (0.157in) plunger size provides a secure fit for solder lug terminals. This configuration minimizes assembly time and reduces the risk of misalignment during panel mounting.
With an electrical life of 60,000 cycles at full load, the 18845AD is built to withstand repeated switching operations in industrial settings. The gold-plated contacts resist corrosion and maintain low contact resistance over time, ensuring long-term reliability. The switch also supports soldering at 300°C for 3 seconds max, facilitating easy maintenance and repair without compromising integrity.
